Little Hickory Run

Little Hickory Run is a pristine and secluded tributary of the Allegheny River, flowing through a deep, shaded valley adjacent to the Hickory Creek Wilderness Area. Known for its crystal-clear water and cool mountain temperatures, the run is a vital sanctuary for native brook trout. The surrounding forest is characterized by massive hemlocks and a lush understory of ferns and mountain laurel. It is a favored destination for "blue-lining" anglers and nature photographers looking for a classic, untouched Appalachian stream environment.
